Undergraduate Research

Welcome Alumni and Friends of the College!

The Opus College of Engineering is proud of its more than 10,000 undergraduate and 2,000 graduate degree holders. Alumni are spread throughout the world, and a series of formal associations help channel their feedback into our research and education programs.

Senior Design

The Opus College of Engineering at Marquette University is dedicated to preparing students for their professional and personal lives after graduation.

In addition to courses in engineering, mathematics, and the life sciences, students are required to complete several design challenges during their freshman year and also a project-based capstone design course during their senior year. Students develop their teamwork skills, learn about the product development process used in industry, and are made aware of the unique requirements and constraints for product design and management. They must consider legal and regulatory issues, use standards where applicable, conduct economic analyses, and learn about engineering testing and implementation.

Industry Sponsorship

We welcome industry sponsorship of senior design projects. Benefits of sponsorship include additional engineering resources at little or no cost to the company.

Requirements for Industry Sponsorship:

Personnel: Sponsoring companies must identify at least one company representative to act as an industry advisor to the project team.

Time: At a minimum, industry advisors must be available to discuss project requirements, customer needs, and potential designs.

Travel: The company determines the need for travel.

Funding & Resources: Depending upon the needs and expectations of the sponsor, funding to pay for prototypes and testing should be provided by the sponsor. Additional resources for activities such as travel, prototyping, design facilities, and personnel might also be considered.
